The Timberwolves will open their season Dec. 23 at Target Center against the Pistons, according to the schedule the NBA released Friday.
The league released dates for the first half of the season through March 3 with the second half to come later. The full season is expected to be 72 games — 10 shorter than a normal season as the league continues to navigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
One accommodation the league made to the schedule is if the Wolves are scheduled to play a team twice on the road, or multiple teams in the same city, they will likely schedule those games at one time.
